Con el paso de los años, la banda ha logrado definir un sonido que la caracteriza y diferencia de las demás bandas de rock uruguayo. Paralelamente a esto, no es solo el sonido característico el que diferencia a esta banda de las demás, sino también su público. Hereford no se ha caracterizdo por ser una banda que mueva masas. Ha logrado, en cambio, un público bastante familiar que se reencuentra en cada show.
El verdugo de tus sueños
Hereford Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Pero debo confesar
Que me gustaría serlo.
No voy a fingir que soy tu dueño,
Pero debo confesar
Que me gustaría serlo.
Para tomar de tu sangre,
Para poder levantarme,
Y para volver a caer.
Nunca me verás en cautiverio,
Pero debes confesar
Que te gustaría verlo.
No pretenderás enloquecerme,
Pero debo confesar,
No sentí placer igual.
Para tomar de tu piel,
Para tomar de tu sangre,
Para poder levantarme,
Y para volver a caer
The lyrics to Hereford's song El verdugo de tus sueños express the desire of the singer to be the executioner of his lover's dreams. The opening lines of the song state that the singer is not currently the executioner of his lover's dreams, but he confesses that he would like to. He goes on to say that he will not pretend to own his lover, but he confesses that he would like to be able to claim her as his own.
The next verse of the song is a bit darker, as the singer expresses his desire to take from his lover her skin and blood in order to lift himself up and fall again. The lyrics seem to imply a sense of destructive desire on the part of the singer. In the final verse, the singer addresses his lover, telling her that she will never see him in captivity, but she must confess that she would like to. He then goes on to tell her that she will not try to make him crazy, but he confesses that he never felt pleasure like the pleasure he feels with her.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex set of desires and emotions. The singer seems to be seeking a sense of control and ownership over his lover, even as he admits that he does not currently possess it. The lyric "Para tomar de tu piel, Para tomar de tu sangre, Para poder levantarme, Y para volver a caer" suggests a sense of dependency and perhaps even addiction, as the singer seems to need to take from his lover in order to feel alive. The darkness and complexity of the lyrics make this song a rich and powerful emotional experience for the listener.
